10.24.1 Status Operation 
P5470 Model Radio 
One of two methods can be used to transmit a status condition. 
METHOD 1:   1.  Press the 
 key, then use the   or   buttons to scroll to the pre-programmed 
status condition. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are 
available from the menu.   
2.  If STATUS is selected, you need to enter the number of the status condition you
intend to transmit. If no status has been programmed for the selected number key, 
the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid selection will display the status for a pre-
programmed time. 
After the time-out expires or the 
 key has been pressed (the   key will override the 
time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the
radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time.  
METHOD 2:  1.  Press the   key.  
2.  Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 status condition key.  If no 
status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display
NO ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the status condition to appear in the top 
line of the display and the status ID to appear in the second line of the display for a 
pre-programmed time.   
After the time-out expires or the   key has been pressed (the   key will override the 
time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the
radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. 
View the currently selected status after it has been transmitted by pressing the   key and then the   
key and then the 
 button prior to the time-out period. If the status was not sent successfully to the site, 
the text associated with the status condition will flash in the display. 
The status selection can be changed by pressing a different status key 0 through 9, or the status operation 
can be cancelled by pressing Option Button 2  .  Both operations must be carried out prior to the time-
out period.  
10.24.2 Message Operation 
The following method can be used to transmit a Message using the Message Operation. 
1.  Press the 
 key. 
2.  Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 pre-programmed “message” key.  If no message 
has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid 
selection will permit the message to appear in the top line of the display and the message ID to appear 
in the second line of the display for a pre-programmed time.   
The message selection can be changed by pressing a different message key 0 through 9, or the message 
operation can be cancelled by pressing Option Button 2 
.  Both operations must be carried out prior to 
the pre-programmed time-out period.
